Akinade-Fijabi added that the footage of the auctioning of black Africans in the conflict-torn nation sparked outrage across the world. The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to liaise with the Libyan Government for solution to the menace of migration and modern day slavery in the North African country.The call followed a motion by Rep. Saheed Akinade-Fijabi (Oyo-APC) on the “need to investigate the inhuman and barbaric act of slave trade involving the auctioning of black Africans in Libya.’’Moving the motion, Akinade-Fijabi said that African migrants from nations, including Nigeria, Guinea and Senegal, were making dangerous crossing through the Sahara Desert to Libya.He said that the journey was aimed at taking them through the Mediterranean Sea to Italy and other European countries in search of greener pastures.The lawmaker also said that on Nov. 14, 2017, the US-based television network, CNN, broke the news of auctioning of human beings in Libya.
